    Got the shell for $20 bucks. Just had to buy some mounting bracket things. All in all, about a $45 investment.

    Well, after many long months of CL searches we finally found a cap that suits our needs! It doesn't quite look right though.

    It rode like that 500 miles from the previous owners house in SC to ours in VA. If we'd just used the truck to take the kids back to college instead of the Sooby, the adventure we had wouldn't have been nearly as much fun....

    Today was the day! Ordered 10-9 Received 12-9. with OEM roof rack, and ARE V Series Topper with Yakima rack. Getting Vision Fury Blue/Black wheels installed tomorrow. Thanks to NoDak for finding a wheel that fits the OEM tires! I think they will look pretty damn sweet with the topper! Everyone on here is right, the pictures just don't even compare to standing next to it, both the lines and the BBP color. Wow! It really puts the 2012 OR I had to shame. The cabin is WAY quieter and the engine has a totally different feel. Well worth the 8 & 1/2 week wait!

    Sure is... when it comes to buying a shell around here that is the only place. Overall, I am pleased with them and the shell is great.

    I've gotten a few misc items from them. Can't say I have ever heard a cross word about them.

    SnugTop Rebel with Yakima tracks and Sportsman Package for supporting a RTT. Also Key fob lock, LED dome lights, and folding front slider. Installed by SoCal Truck Accessories in Santee, CA. They did a good job, just under 2 hours for the install. Over $2500 for all the bells and whistles but I got sick of waiting to get lucky on CL or EBay.

    Nice shell! So what is included in the "sportsman" pkg? Wasn't aware there was one.

    The Sportsman package included the carpeted interior (helps prevent condensation from forming) and reinforced roof (which increases the static load rating on the roof from I believe 250# to 500#. The LED lighting from the factory is awesome btw! The on/off switch is lighted and bolted to the window locking latch, visible on the back left wall of the shell.

    I wasn't aware of the reinforced roof when I got mine. I did get the headliner, dual vented windoors though. I guess I'll have to get a bed rack at some point when I get an RTT. I'm a little leary of putting a RTT on with a static load of 250.

    I would have installed the Yakima racks myself but because I plan on mounting a RTT eventually I didn't want any water intrusion or cracked shell to not fall under warranty. They did a good job, but I'm going to follow up with some RTV silicone at the likely failure points. Almost went for the Xtra Vision but I figured the more fiberglass and less glass wasn't a bad idea...
